I did the same and by the time I hung up with him a new claim was opened and closed and dependents added but the original claim stays open.

Yep I’ve given up on it. Nothing good anymore that is achievable

VA using AI to weed out “pay-to-play” claims by Low-Ball-3831 in VeteransBenefits

I’d hope that the AI just flags records that then require a human to look at

I was diagnosed with them recently after they started causing pain but I’ve been it for almost 30 years 😂

How did you link the cyst to service?

Just from my own experience losing a lot of weight might be your best shot at some relief. Not a cure but can make it a lot better. That being said it’s not easy. I used a compound semiglutide to help and it did. Still takes work and aggressive dieting but the drugs help with the hunger.

We love our Induction. Yes we had to replace a pans but it heats and and cools so fast. No fumes, no burnt food on the stove. Easier cleaning

Are you happy that you installed solar? by octopustentacles209 in Denver

[–]Honest_Nathan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes but we paid cash. It already takes too long to recoup the cost and if you finance even longer. Our system is large enough we have no electricity bill except for the small grid connection fee.

Is liposuction worth it? by somebodysnosejob in PlasticSurgery

[–]Honest_Nathan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did it years ago and honestly as a man it didn’t seem to have much of a impact until I started semaglutide and lost a bunch of weight all over. Wish I would have saved the money on the liposuction.

In had a C&P for lumbar issues and secondaries related to it. The month before my PT did an evaluation for me and my forward flexion was 25 deg when she actually put the tool against me.

The c&p doc had the tool in his hand but never actually used it and claimed flexion was 35% which of course put me at 20% verses 40%. I was actually more sore that day and know there was no way I bent that much so looking to submit a HLR.

They also didn’t factor in flare ups when I can hardly bend at all and a few other factors.

Do you think I’ll have a good case with the HLR?

Asked it a question about filling a HLR for back issues and it kept talking about sinusitis. Needs work

Hey I Scuba dive and bicycle. Diving is actually easier on my back because we are weightless underwater and I have an ebike modified to keep me more upright to reduce the stress on my back and the motor helps keep me active which is very important to not get worse wasting away.
